I remember watching and trying to help my dad put a brick patio in when I was a little girl.. what a process that was, and a LONG time later it's still there. Beautiful inspiration here and I will need to pin a few:) I love the kitchen and laundry room! xxL

I would love to do a brick floor in my kitchen. These are beautiful examples! Have you had them? I wonder if the kids would be falling and getting hurt on them... you know how boys are with the roughhousing! :)

Sharon,I love the look, its a killer on the back and knees when you have to stand on them for a prolonged amount of time, as when you are cooking for Thanksgiving. They look great in any room and I especially like the look of brick mixed with wood.Karen

We put brick floors in our kitchen and "breakfast area". I love them! They add so much character and are most certainly the most talked about thing when we have guests over. For cleaning they are much easier than you think. They are crazy awesome at hiding the dirt! A simple broom or sweeper vacuum is usually all it takes. Mopping is just some plain water with a bit of dish soap and a string mop. (Good old fashioned swabbing the decks). They dry super fast and we never slip on them. We slipped like crazy before having them installed and that was part of the reason we had them installed.
